I should have written this sooner - at least a week ago…but I’ve been a bit busy, so that’s the excuse I’ll stick with this time. ;o)
Anyway, a little over a week ago, I was pretty stressed about money.  I know finances aren’t really one of those things you’re “supposed” to talk about, but I’m [...]

Today’s culture seems to have an endless supply of answers to that question.  We’re bombarded with “suggestions” from the latest novels, newly released films and catchiest tunes on the radio.

Rated: R
The earth has changed; it’s been burned by the sun, along with most of its former inhabitants, leaving a scorched landscape, and destitute survivors. It is the end of everything as we know it…or is it? Eli realizes the power that is bound between the covers of the book that he believes he has [...]

Title: Sherlock Holmes
Rating: PG-13
Moral Rating: Low
Nudity: Low/mild
Profanity: Mild

When I first considered writing a review on the new Sherlock Holmes, I thought for certain that it would be “elementary;” an “open-and-shut case,” so to speak. I’m a life-long fan of Sherlock Holmes, own at least 5 books full of his tales of adventure as told [...]

Waiting
As time passes slowly by
Waiting for nothing
I lie awake
I wait, and watch
Wondering
Is this what heaven went through that night
So long ago
Did [...]

Why I Love the ESV Study Bible:

It is full of maps that can help you get a better feel for the history and background of various Biblical events. There are maps [...]

Dear God,
It was great to talk to you the other day, about that stuff that was confusing me. I wish you were that clear all the time…and I didn’t have to just sit around and wait for you to say something for so long. I mean, there are so many other things I could be [...]

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” ~ Matthew 5:6
This is just going to be a short post. (That’s unusual, I know…) My church has just started doing a study through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Tonight we just focused in on the [...]

I was inspired to write this post by a post someone else wrote a while ago about what inspires them, and what points their eyes to God and the gospel.
So often we can get distracted by day-to-day tasks, that we overlook what’s most important. I think it’s good to know what things have the [...]

I’ve been sort-of postponing writing any new posts until my blog was done being re-designed (especially since, with the new design, I wanted to introduce a bit of a new direction for my posts)…however, that isn’t happening as quickly as I had originally hoped. So, in the spirit of patience, and just accomplishing something [...]
